    Behind The Song: Matt Maher Shares The Heart Behind His Song “Run To The Father”

    By Abby Carpenter | Christian News | 0 comment | 14 April, 2021 | 2

    This week’s featured song story comes to us from Matt Maher. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his song “Run To The Father.”

    When my kids get hurt they just run to my wife and I. They don’t stop or hesitate they just run. And that’s a profound revelation of what it means to have a heart open to God, to be able to run to Him when we’re hurting. The other thing is as a parent that when I see my own child suffering I run to them. I don’t wait for them to run to me. So even as I sing a song called “Run To The Father” I’m really in some ways singing about the fact that God’s already run to me and He’ll never get tired of me needing Him. – Matt Maher

    From the album Alive & Breathing.

    “Run To The Father” Lyrics

    I’ve carried a burden for too long on my own
    I wasn’t created to bear it alone
    I hear Your invitation to let it all go
    I see it now
    I’m laying it down
    I know that I need You

    I run to the Father, I fall into grace
    I’m done with the hiding, no reason to wait
    My heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a friend
    So I’ll run to the Father
    Again and again
    And again and again
    Oh, oh, oh

    You saw my condition
    Had a plan from the start
    Your Son for redemption
    The price for my heart
    I don’t have a context
    For that kind of love
    I don’t understand
    I can’t comprehend
    All I know is I need You

    I run to the Father, I fall into grace
    I’m done with the hiding, no reason to wait
    My heart needs a surgeon, my soul needs a friend
    So I’ll run to the Father
    Again and again
    And again and again
    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, Oh and again and again
    Oh, oh

    My heart has been in Your sights
    Long before my first breath
    Running into Your arms
    Is running to life from death
    And I feel this rush deep in my chest
    Your mercy is calling out
    Just as I am You pull me in
    I know I need You now
